A war in Ukraine and Europe is impossible, as the West understands the futility of confrontation with the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). This was announced on February 5 by President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko.
“We are not talking about some kind of nuclear and other weapons. But it’s better not to touch us. Ukraine will never fight with us. This war will last well, a maximum of 3-4 days. There will be no one to fight against us. Those who are shown there with machine guns are shown with wooden ones, how they train,” he said in an interview with Russian journalist Vladimir Solovyov for the Solovyov Live YouTube channel.
The Belarusian leader drew attention to how quickly the CSTO made a decision to help Kazakhstan during the January riots, how quickly it deployed the contingent.
“If necessary, these forces would increase there. We are near Alma-Ata, and [президент РФ Владимир] Putin in Nur-Sultan took control of the airports. Now it is clear why they were taken. We would not have come there on foot – a thousand kilometers within a few hours after we made a decision,” Lukashenka explained.
Also, according to the Belarusian leader, in the modern world no one is interested in giving up peaceful life.
“We live too comfortably. This is very important when a person begins to think, to move his brains. Tomorrow is a war, and instead of an Italian house, we need to sit in a dugout, as we had in Belarus (during World War II. – Ed.),” he said.
On February 3, Lukashenka spoke about the scenario in the event of a potential armed conflict involving the Union State. The President noted that if the enemy starts an offensive, he will “get it”. On the same day, the Belarusian leader stressed that the current situation in the world frightens with its unpredictability and is comparable to the situation before the Second World War. He pointed out that the global situation could go into a “hot phase” at any moment. Escalation and militarization in Europe contribute to this.
On January 28, Lukashenka announced the likelihood of war in the event of direct aggression against Belarus or Russia. At the same time, he stressed that Minsk is categorically against any military action.
Western politicians and media representatives continue to spread numerous speculations about possible Russian aggression against Ukraine. The Russian side has repeatedly refuted such statements, emphasizing that it has no plans to invade a neighboring country.
So, on January 28, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Russia was not going to start a war with Ukraine, and Western countries and the United States were “hysterically” developing the topic of a threat from the Russian Federation instead of forcing Kiev to comply with the Minsk agreements.
